Residential Window Cleaning Prices

There are 3 tiers of window cleaning prices: Initial cleaning, regular cleaning and post-construction cleaning. All prices reflect the time spent for the job.

WE BELIEVE PRICE SHOULD REFLECT THE VALUE.

Is Window Cleaning Expensive?

Working with heights is certainly dangerous. Window cleaning as an occupation is and has always been highly undervalued. Ever thought about how your electrician, HVAC specialist, auto mechanic, or even a plumber is earning more than your window cleaner, although the window cleaner risks his life day in and day out on every window?

Think about it!

PRICE FACTORS

The following factors are reflected by the cost of window cleaning in Seattle:

DIRECT FACTORS

Accessibility: The fewer items we need to moved out of our way to get to your window (Knick-knacks, breakables, fragile or delicate items, most heavy items will be moved by the cleaner, i.e. couches, end-tables, recliners, etc.) – the less time we will spend on the job. As a result – you’ll pay less.

How the windows open and operate: Safety equipment. If a window requires a window washer to use special safety equipment it will cost more as a reflection of the extra time spent for use of such equipment. Very often bargain price means that the window washer will not use safety equipment in order to save time and take a risk.

Multiple pane/ French style windows take more time to clean and hence, cost higher.

How dirty is the glass? Single wash or double wash may be required for maximum results. If the windows weren’t cleaned for a few years, it might be necessary to double wash them in order to make them 100% Crystal Clear. If a glass scraper needs to be used to remove paint, tape, glue, or other debris from the glass, it will also take extra time to clean and will result in extra cost.

Obstacles: If A/C units, storm windows, city quiet windows, stoppers, painted shut windows, etc. come in the way and need to be removed/ taken care of, the extra cost will reflect the extra time and effort that is put in.

INDIRECT FACTORS

Cost of labor: The more the qualified workforce – higher the price. Attracting, training, and keeping the best talents always came at a higher cost. This is particularly true for today’s day and age when construction is booming and it is hard to recruit young people who are ready to dedicate themselves to something long-term.

Cost of insurance: Due to the extremely risky nature of a window cleaning business, the cost of insurance coverage for window cleaning operations in the State of Washington has skyrocketed over the last decade. Nowadays, obtaining proper insurance coverage has become expensive. Small companies comprising up to 20 people cannot afford proper coverage due to budgetary constraints; therefore, they settle for Janitorial insurance. These companies can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) with Janitorial insurance, although the policy provides NO coverage for window cleaning operations on high-rise buildings!
